2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.7L Petrol · CU51 AOK

The Suzuki Grand Vitara presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 12 November 2021 at 85,184 miles, the most recent test in the supplied history. The maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving from this sparse record, as only one pass and one prior-day failure appear, both at identical mileage with no defects listed. The vehicle has not been tested since late 2021, leaving its condition unverified for over four and a half years relative to today's date. The odometer shows 85,184 miles against a 25-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 3,407 miles per year and confirming exceptionally low use for its age. The record reveals a notable anomaly: a failure on 11 November 2021 at 85,184 miles with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on 12 November 2021 at the same mileage. This pattern suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than mechanical fault, and the identical mileages indicate the car stood unused between tests and likely for long periods beforehand. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as long standing with low mileage often accelerates structural rust on a 2001 unit. The tester logged no advisories on the passing test, yet the absence of suspension, brake, or exhaust checks across the gap means worn bushes, binding calipers, or degraded discs cannot be ruled out. Given the four-year-plus lapse since the last MOT, a fresh test and workshop inspection of drivetrain oils and tyre condition are essential before purchase.
